War of the Anglo-Saxons

Posted 11:43 GMT
Listening to National Public Radio at the start of the day, Mangala heard an interview with Nicholas von Hoffman: "This is the war of the Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxons are saying to the world: Your religion is no good. We'll get you a better religion. Your government is no good. We'll get you a better government. We'll get you better social arrangements. We'll show you how your marriages ought to work." And von Hoffman added that the war is a project of "American and British upper-class Anglo-Saxonism."

"Most interesting," Mangala thought "Three cheers for Empire. And keep a stiff upper lip."

Later, he read an article by Von Hoffman in the New York Observer, and looked at the web site o fthe NPR program that interviewed Hoffman, Been There, Done That.
